To start out I''ll say that this is the first thing that I''ve
ever built
that''s been intended to programmatically send email. I''m
looking at
examples in AWR and also on the wiki. I feel that I sort of have things
set up right but I''m getting an error I can''t grok:
Net::SMTPFatalError in Home#email_list
550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for jpfeifer-fVOoFLC7IWo@public.gmane.org
/app/controllers/home_controller.rb:34:in `email_list''
script/server:54
jpfeifer-fVOoFLC7IWo@public.gmane.org is my email and is pulled from my database
table
I''m set up like this:
Controller:
def email_list
email = Email.find(:first)
MailList::deliver_send_email(email)
end
Model:
class MailList < ActionMailer::Base
def send_email(email)
@recipients = email.address
@from = ''email-Jbz+COfnBiiw5LPnMra/2Q@public.gmane.org''
@subject = ''thanks for entering the contest''
end
end
Environment:
# Include your app''s configuration here:
ActionMailer::Base.perform_deliveries = true
ActionMailer::Base.raise_delivery_errors = true
ActionMailer::Base.default_charset = "utf-8"
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.server_settings = {
:address => "mail.address.ca",
:port => 25,
:domain => "www.address.ca",
:authentication => :login,
:user_name => "username",
:password => "password"}
so to me it looks like there is something wrong with sending in SMTP.
I''m not really familiar with much of this so I much appreciate advice.
Thanks,
Jason

Typically the address for outgoing mail would start with smtp, such as smtp.address.ca. Addresses beginning with mail are typically for incoming mail (POP). Also, you may or may not need authentication for sending mail.

I am not even aware whether or not I can send email in this fashion, is it possible to run like this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
It should work as far as I know. Also, you''ll need the actual address of an smtp server (not sure if address.ca was just an example or an actual smtp server).

The smtp server mail not require authentication for sending mail.
Try changing your server_settings as follows and see what happens:
ActionMailer::Base.server_settings = {
:address => "shawmail.vc.shawcable.net",
:port => 25,
:domain => "???",
:authentication => :plain
}

I got a single email address firing. Now, I am trying to pass the email variable as an array to the Email model that does the sending. controller def email_list email = Email.find(:all) MailList::deliver_send_email(email) end model class MailList < ActionMailer::Base def send_email(email) @recipients = email.address @from = ''address-JEej1PRyDx4@public.gmane.org'' @subject = ''thanks for signing up'' end end but I get rails thinking it''s a method undefined method `address'' for #<Array:0x372bc00> I''m not sure the syntax to access the address field of my database table. It was working with one email address, but how do I package and pass the array to the Mailer? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Update:
I got this working:
def email_list
email = Email.find(:all)
email.each { |address| MailList::deliver_send_email(address) }
end
but for some reason that doesn''t feel like the proper rails way to do
it. The docs say that @recipients can be an array, but I am having
trouble passing the array and then grabbing the column I want
(''address'')

I think it''s looking for an array of strings as in: @recipients = ["joe-O5WfVfzUwx8@public.gmane.org", "bob-O5WfVfzUwx8@public.gmane.org"] As an alternate solution, I believe you could pass the email array to send_email (as your first example had it) and iterate over the array there adding the address for each email to @recipients.

As far as the way I have it right now, is there anything wrong with doing it the way I have it? Trying to develop good habits from the start :-) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Not as far as I know. How you implement it just depends on whether or not you want to send one email to all the recipients (To: bob-O5WfVfzUwx8@public.gmane.org, joe-O5WfVfzUwx8@public.gmane.org) or a separate email to each recipient (one to bob, and one to joe).

Hi , I am trying to get Action mailer work for me. and I have a problem figuring out what is the ''mail'' object thats passed to the deliver method. How do I create it? the doc says mail = MyMailer.create_some_email but what is this supposed to return?

It is a TMail::Mail object.
http://railsmanual.org/module/TMail
If you have questions about other objects / classes, etc. you can
print out the class of an object as follows:
mail = MyMailer.create_some_email
logger.debug("mail class: #{mail.class}")
